Serving up whatever I want.

Time To Renovate

So it's been a long time citizens... too long. It is now time for me to take the blog in a new direction. Something I'm calling "I'm is going to write whatever I want and you can read it if you want because while I do appreciate your interest, I've gotta be me." Also known as "Project X5." Instead of a-z playlists, I'm just going to start putting songs up whenever I find them. They are going to be songs that I think everyone should listen to - maybe a theme, maybe not. Regardless - you need to listen. Also there are going to be many more "Stream of Consciousness" essays, lyrics and movie ideas, and just overall updates of my life. "So here it is brotha, here it is!"

Here are some songs to start off the new era of "breakfast, lunch -n- dinner" (which some people refer to as "blender" apparently).

This song is ridiculously good. The lyrics are powerful, the melody subtle yet powerful, and the aura heart-wrenching. I had arrived at Stephanie's house and this song was playing as I pulled up. It was only half way over so I just sat there listening with the volume up above 35 (which is loud with the windows up) with emotions just flooding through my mind. It's powerful - just listen and feel.

Whatever - this song is good. The lyrics are typical and sexual but the beat and Mariah's voice are awesome. I don't care - I like it. I'm even dancing to it right now as I write this. ::Hums melody in his head:: There is also a DESIGNER DRUGS REMIX and a "remix" featuring T.I. Both are alright but I like the original.

So I'm a pretty big Ben Folds fan, specifically when he had the Five but it's all been good... until now. This is a new song (said to be the catchiest) off his new album and personally, compared to "Songs For Silverman" or "The Unauthorized Biography Of Reinhold Messner," this isn't anything special. BUT - this is an open forum, an open world, form your own opinion and let me know.

So that's all for right now. I have more songs lined up so make sure you check back in a few days for an update on life, musik, films and life... wait a second.

**NOTE** I don't know what happened but I thought I already posted this but I guess not, even though people commented on it... weird. Anyways this is a re-post. Also unfortunately, there was a problem with all the bandwidth we were using to download from FileDen. I'm on the search for a new file share site so for now, no mp3s but there will be soon when I can find another.

Each month, I make a playlist consisting of an artist of every letter of the alphabet. This month, each song pertains to a past favorite or to a future love. This is September 2008:

1. Mood Swing [ft. Talib Kweli] Asheru Mood Swing - EP Hip Hop/Rap

2. You Don't Know Me [ft. Regina Spektor] Ben Folds Way To Normal Pop

3. Move On Up Curtis Mayfield The Other Side: The Anthology 1969-1977 Soul
